The Little Things

Life deals us some shoddy hands sometimes. That's why we should remember to enjoy the simple pleasures and triumphs in life.

• There's nothing like the feeling of putting a USB stick in the right way round first time.
• There's nothing like a drive through town with all green lights.
• There's nothing like a sunbeam... they're not just for cats.
• Finding an old favourite in the back of the wardrobe, trying it on, and seeing it fit.
• Watching snow fall at night.
• Looking out on fresh snow before anyone stands in it.
• Picking the right switch out of two that you can never usually remember.
• Sitting down to read a book for ten minutes and realising it's been two hours.
• Puppy head tilting.
• Holding a warm cup when your hands are cold.
• Taking your shoes and socks off after walking all day and putting your feet on a tile floor.
• Any moment where you can laugh until you cry.
• Moments that save your faith in humanity.

It's easy to be angry at the world, but it takes real courage to take those little things and wipe the anger away.
